Date Changing Interval
Not much coding experience, but hoping the community can help. I'd like to have a simple HTML headline read the following:
"Meals are available for pickup on Sunday,February 23 and Monday, February 24."
The crux is I need this to change every Thursday at 1 p.m. so that the dates change to the dates of the FOLLOWING Sunday & Monday.
--
We are a meal prep service with new menus every week. Order cut off is every Thursday @ 1 p.m. I've automated the site's meal menu to rotate at this time. With this dynamic headline, I hope to avoid customer confusion so that if someone orders on Thursday @ 2 p.m., they know their meals aren't going to be available until the following weekend.
Hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help!

You can do this quite easily using the php time functions
Example:
<?php
$monday_date = strtotime('next monday');
$sunday_date = strtotime('next sunday');
?>
<!-- Some content -->
<div class="header">Meals are available for pickup on Sunday,February $sunday_date and Monday, February $monday_date</div>
<!-- Some more content -->
The above example wont rotate at 1pm but will show the date of the closest sunday/monday. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to work out how to adapt it for timings (hint: the time library can detect the current time)
